Breaking the cycle of recidivism
The goal of Philemon House is to disciple people who have been touched by incarceration.
Philemon House is a Christ-centered ministry that supports current and former inmates in finding and living a Christ-pleasing life. We offer Bible study through in-person and correspondence courses in jails and prisons. Additionally, we provide a Discipleship House for young men, where they live with our Executive Director and his wife and receive training in spiritual growth, behavior, finances, education, and job skills.
Our Ministries

Philemon House and its volunteers help those incarcerated adults learn about the plan God has for their lives which will give them hope and a future in Christ.
Adult Correspondence Program
Through mailed correspondence our volunteers encourage incarcerated men to grow in their knowledge of the Bible through self-guided Bible studies.
Youth Prison
Our ministering to incarcerated youth brings hope and changes worldviews through the Word of God and the salvation of Jesus Christ.
Discipleship House
We provide a Christ-centered residential living environment to help young men identify their purpose, re-orient their moral compass, and embrace their part in God’s plan.
